Namaste Amala,
Yes ones status in life is very important when considering mAlA, there is a very strong link to Ayurveda and of course Jyotish, Rudraksha help greatly the heart.
You may receive the suggestion of a 108 x 5 Mukhi (face) rudraksha mAlA, these represent Śiva.
I have a 10 Mukti headbead which represents Vishnu with 5 mukti counting beads, but also it simply helps to calm the mind and protect from demons. I have pearls too for the Moon in my chart and again for the mind, I find these to be fantastic as I love the change of texture between the pearl and rudraksha, the touch also polishes the it helps me when doing multiple rounds, to keep count; that I might concentrate my attention to the intensity.
I have heard it said that the rough edges of the Rudraksha act on pressure points on the fingers and skin. But the different combinations are important for differing effects.
I both wear mine and use them for meditation, my life has changed for the better since doing so.
I hope that they are helpful to you, the website that is; I am sure that the rudraksha will be!
